Godot Game
Using the Godot game engine, I am creating a 2D survival game. Although it is still in the very early stages of development, I’ve been using my free time to learn the ins and outs of the engine, as well as explore various game design concepts. Of the concepts I’ve experimented with recently, procedural generation has by far been the most fascinating. Learning about noise maps and layering has taught me a lot about how some of my favorite games work. I’m not sure where this project will lead, but for now, I’m just having fun.
Discord Bot
With this project, I wanted to create a Discord bot that my friends and I could use to quickly access information while playing games together. This bot uses Discord’s API and Beautiful Soup to scrape a website for data—specifically statistics and information about video game characters we use in-game. Once I retrieve the data, I use Pillow to compile the information and images into an easily readable infographic. This image is then saved and uploaded to the Discord server through commands.
